14:7 Demonstrating humility

7Then he told a parable to all the invited guests after he’d noticed them choosing the best places around the table, telling them, 8[ref]Whenever you’re invited to a wedding celebration, don’t go and sit in the best place in case someone more important than you might be called over by the host 9and then your host might come over to you and ask you to let the other guest sit where you were and then you might end up humiliated at the bottom of the table. 10Rather, when you’re invited, sit down at the end so that the host might come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better spot.’ Then you’ll be honoured in front of all the other guests 11[ref]because the person who thinks a lot of themself will be humbled, and the person who humbles themself will be honoured.

12Then Yeshua also spoke to the man who had invited him, “Whenever you host a brunch or dinner, don’t invite your friends or siblings, or your other relatives or your wealthy neighbours, because they can invite you back and so repay you. 13Instead when you’re celebrating, invite the poor and the crippled, the lame and the blind, 14and then you’ll be rewarded by God because those people won’t be able to repay you, hence you’ll be repaid instead when those who please God come back to life.


7And he_was_speaking a_parable to the ones having_been_invited, noticing how they_were_choosing the best_places, saying to them, 8Whenever you_may_be_called by anyone to wedding_festivities, you _may_ not _be_reclining in the best_place, lest one more_honoured than you may_be having_been_called by him, 9and having_come, the one having_invited you and him he_will_be_saying to_you:
Give to_this one ^your_place, and then you_may_begin to_be_keeping the last place with shame.
10But whenever you_may_be_called, having_been_gone sit_down in the last place, in_order_that whenever the one having_invited you may_come he_will_be_saying to_you:
Friend, move_up higher.
Then glory will_be to_you before all the ones reclining with_you.
11Because everyone the one exalting himself will_be_being_humbled, and the one humbling himself will_be_being_exalted.
12And he_was_ also _saying to_the one having_invited him:
Whenever you_may_be_making a_dinner or a_supper, be_ not _calling the friends of_you, nor the brothers of_you, nor the relatives of_you, nor your_ rich _neighbors, lest also they may_invite_back you and a_repayment may_become to_you.
13But whenever you_may_be_making a_banquet be_calling the_poor, the_crippled, the_lame, the_blind, 14and you_will_be blessed, because they_are_ not _having to_repay to_you, because/for will_be_being_repaid to_you in the resurrection of_the righteous.
